Life and Death.

Clouds come in every sky
No day will last forever,
And roads that nearest lie,
The hand II time will sever.
No flowers eternal bloom,
No loving Death outvying-
The voice Of the tomb
Cry, al must end in dying
No clouds forever last,
No heart is doomed TO sadness,
The future. present, past,
All some fouut Of glldness,
And flowers tina fade tolay
VIII bloom when winter passes,
In every year comes MAY,
With clover, buds, ami grasses;
The voices from the sky
A joyful p@lu giving,
I'VE are not dead they cry,
There is no end TO living.

THE COMING FAIR.

Speaking in reference to the Pavilion
exhibit ut the coming State Fair the
Reno Gazette truthfully remarks:
1t is hoped that the enterprising and
philosophical ladies of Nevada will not
allow the Pavilion exhibit during the
State Fair this year to rank second by
the management and the public. The
ladies have much TO do with this de-
raltmeLt, for it is their handiwork, i'll
terest and pr essence that give charm to
the exhibit. Nevada is noted for its
accomplished women. We trust this
notoriety will be moro than sustained
by the display they will make of needle
work, paintings, crnyons, drawings.
etchings, etc, etc, and that every part
If the 1tute will be we'll represented.
The success of the exhibit depends
largely upon their efforts.

THE ONLY SURVIVOR.

the Talo of the Disaster.
STURGEON BAY, WIS, Nov. 2.-Up to
the arrival of the schooner Pomeroy from
Chicago, which passed through the bay
today, it was supposed that not single
survivor was left of the forty or fifty peo-
PIE on bosrd the propeller Vernon, which
went down of Sheboygan early last Sat
urday morning. It is now know how
ever, that Of least one man lives to tell
the tale Of that terrible night on Lake
Michigan. The Pomeroy has on board
TIE only survivor, SO far as known, of
that awful disaster. The name Of the
man who has thus been rescued from
death after he had given up all hope of
ever again setting his foot on dry land, is

almost helpless, and so weak from hunger
he could scarcely move. Although still
very weak from the effeots of his swful
exposure, Stone was able to make brief
statement of the never-to-be-forgotten
night. He says: l was awakened iu the
middle Of the night by the cries of the
passengers and crew that the vessel was
sinking. 1 sprang out of window and
found myself on life rsft with six other
persons. 1 cannot say now who my CON-

gers. It seemed only moment before
the vessel had gone down, ard l believe
all but few Of those on board went
down with her. do not know Just
how many people were aboard
at the time, but the number could
not have been far from fifty. We passed

Leprosy Not Contaeions.

The lepers of Molokai are permitted to
marry and propagate, and large number
of children are born of them. 1t must be
said, however, that the children of lep-
rous parents are not necessarily them
selves leprous. The chances are that they
will be so earlier or later, but cases are
not infrequent where five or six children
have been born in families where both
parents were leprous and yet never devel-
oped the disease themselves. Other in
stances are known where two or three
children would be born without faint,
then leprous one would appear, after
which others would show no contamina-
ton. 1t often happens, too, that one
member of married couple will be lep-
rous and the other not infected. Nor do
the natives have any fear of their afflicted
friends, but live in the same house, sleep
in the same bed, have their clothes
washed in the same water and are always
free from leprosy themselves. The disease
does not seem to be contagious, at least in
the ordinary acceptation of the word, and
visitors need have no fear of it, but it is
certainly communicable by means whose
very obscurity makes them terrible

Sometimes it is of light blue, sometimes

for miles, are not uncommon. But q few

Wear and Tear.

It is not coincidence, but deeply sig
nificant fact, that the ':new education, !"
the ''new political economy" the "new
psychology the "new biology" and the
rest, are all claiming attention at the
same time. 1t is the expression of the
consciousness of the changed conditions
of modern life. A most alarming symp-
tom of this change is the increasing fire.
quency of mental breakdown caused
by failure to adapt ones self to the
changed environment. For the use of the
mental powers, we now substitute their
abuse. The business man is worried into
insanity, the student hurried into I'M
healthy precocity, and the woman forced
into an imprudent competition with man.
One of the earliest cries of warning to the
most restless OF all nations, the Ameri-
cans, was raised by DR.. S. Weir Mitchell,
in paper entitled "Wear and Tear.''
The cause which DR.. Mitchell pleads
under the above terse heading is well
known today. It is simply the problem
of obtaining maximum of work with a
minimum of overwork; q brisk and
healthy wear without rushing and

A Brave Girl.

Col. William R. Aylett, of Virginia, in
speech at Gettysburg recently, said:
'Why, the bravest woman I ever saw was
Pennsylvania girl who defied Pickett's
whole division while we marched through
little town called Greencastle. She had
on United States flag as an apron,
which she defiantly waved up and down
as our columns passed by her and dared
us to take it from her. And there was
not one man of us who dared do so.
Struck by her courage and loyalty Pickett,
with hat off, gave her a military salute,
my regiment presented arms, and we
cheered her with good old fashioned
rebel yell, which some of you boys here
have doubtless heard. God bless the true
and brave little woman, and she was as
lovely as she was brave New York
